In Vietnam, there are nearly 10,000 new cases each year. So is malignant thyroid tumor dangerous? How to treat it? According to Dr. Le Thi My - Vinmec Times City Hospital, thyroid cancer can be considered benign cancer. Like other types of cancer, malignant thyroid tumors have many different types, of which papillary malignant thyroid tumors are one of the types with good prognosis, can be completely cured, the patient's life expectancy will be from 20-25 years. For the remaining types such as cystic, medullary, undifferentiated... the prognosis is poor, the risk of metastasis to other organs is higher. However, these types account for a very small percentage (about 10%), so malignant thyroid tumors are not as scary as people think. Causes of malignant thyroid tumors include: History of exposure to radiation; Immune system disorders; Genetic factors; Age factors, hormonal changes; Due to thyroid disease; Due to side effects of some drugs Other causes such as iodine deficiency, regular alcohol consumption, smoking, overweight, obesity... Thyroid tumors are not contagious. Currently, in the world and in Vietnam, there are 3 methods of treating malignant thyroid tumors: Surgery: Is the most important method in treating malignant thyroid tumors, surgical removal of part or all of the thyroid gland depending on each specific case. Radiotherapy: Has little value for differentiated malignant thyroid tumors, often used for undifferentiated thyroid tumors and medullary malignant thyroid tumors. Hormone therapy: Indicated after postoperative I131 treatment, or after total thyroidectomy or widespread metastasis after failed radical treatment. In addition, a new method of treating malignant thyroid tumors used recently is radiofrequency ablation, applied to early stage papillary thyroid tumors, small cancerous nodules under 10mm and located within the thyroid parenchyma. In short, whether malignant thyroid tumors are dangerous or not depends on the condition of the disease, however, because this is considered a benign cancer, if the patient detects the disease early, malignant thyroid tumors can be completely cured, the prognosis is quite good.
